You're utterly charming, Natalie. I'm so very, very happy for you. And teary for you. Congratulations! (Although, I'm still happier for me. And how did you know that June was my birthday month? You're so nice!)

Oh, Natalie, this post makes me so very, very, very happy for you and so very, very, very happy for writers everywhere (including myself). Hard work and determination do pay off -- and that payoff feels wonderful in all shapes, forms, and sizes. XOXO
